Had an interesting encounter with a goat in ONP quite a few years ago enroute to the Brothers. Our party of about 4 started up a fairly narrow snow gully only to notice a big guy coming down said gully. The funny thing about it was that he wouldn't let us come up - when we got close, he would lower his horns and mount a small charge.
After a 5 minutes or so of advancing and retreating, we sent one of our own slightly around him while we yelled and got his attention. Our advance scout outflanked him and he gave up, tearing down the hill. Good thing. Our next tactic would have placed fresh meat in camp that night...
Damn nuisances. I can't believe the crap that ONP went thru a few years ago to try to round them up with 'copters, sterilize them, and whatever else. Should have just blown them away.
